Micro material processing

• Laser marking: Marking of metals and plastics, often in industrial 24/7 use.

• Cleaning/Removal: Removal of thin layers or dirt from surfaces.

Measurement and sensors(LiDAR)

• 3D scanning and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging): Use underwater or in the automotive industry (autonomous driving) for obstacle detection as well as in surveying for terrain mapping.

• Distance and speed measurement: Measurement of distances, material thicknesses or surface profiles.

• Environmental monitoring: Remote sensing of the atmosphere, measurement of clouds or aerosols.

Medicine and biology

• Photoacoustic imaging: Used in medical imaging (e.g., ophthalmology, neurology) for high-resolution, non-contact images, such as for visualizing capillaries.

• Biosensors: ELM series for integration into analytical instruments for biological samples.

Analytics and Research (LIBS)

• LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy): The ELM1064 microchip laser is ideal for LIBS.

• Spectroscopy: ELM series for excitation of samples for molecular analysis.

Advantages for applications

• High peak power & short pulses: Efficient material removal with minimal thermal stress.

• Compact design and low weight: Due to their minimal dimensions, ELM series microchip lasers are ideal for applications where space is limited, such as in portable handheld devices, mobile sensors or for integration into complex machines.

• High beam quality and stability: ELM series lasers generate a laser beam in fundamental transverse mode (near ideal) and offer very good stability, enabling precise applications.

• Q-switched short pulses (high peak power): ELM series microchip lasers can generate extremely short pulses (1 nanosecond, sometimes sub-picoseconds) with high peak power (>70 kW peak power). This is ideal for micromachining, marking, and LiDAR and LIBS applications.

• Cost efficiency: The manufacturing techniques are similar to those used in microelectronics. This enables cost-effective mass production with good reproducibility and reliability.
